Okay, so maybe it wasn't just the
landslide covering the road that made Hedge quit the oil business.

The trip to the cave that the landslide
proves harder than the actual Oil Cave itself. There's quite a bit
of treasure in there that could at least potentially be good. The
only downside is that Hedge also conveniently forgot to mention that
there was a dragon guarding the Power Oil. At least there's an
accessory in the cave called the Dragon Ring that's a good idea to
use on Aguro.

There are also quite a lot of battle
items with the word “dragon” in the name as well. You'd think
they'd work well against a dragon, but no such luck. A good strategy
instead seems to be putting the Dragon Ring on Aguro and spamming it
with spells that reduce the dragon's defense. It's still a hard
fight, though.

Surprisingly, Lufia's Thunder spell
works really well as an attack. I've always thought ice attacks were
better attacks, but I keep forgetting that that's not always the
case. Jerin's Mirror spell comes in handy, too, because it can
reflect two-thirds of the boss's attacks, all of which are oil
themed. Of course, this is to be expected, since this whole quest
has been. Even the boss is called the Oil Dragon.

Once the Oil Dragon is taken out and
the Power Oil is claimed, it's back to Epro to save the game.
Technically, we need to take the oil to Professor Shaia at Lab #4,
but for now, I've gone far enough. Actually getting to the lab and
fixing this thing will have to wait until next time.

So, until then, stay safe, have fun,
keep gaming, and DFTBA! Hopefully, I won't be away for so long next
time.
